Forever Active Forum

Keeping the over 50s active in Cambridge

The Forever Active scheme provides exercise/activity sessions for the over 50 age group within Cambridge. There are over 50 different sessions on offer, which cater for all ages and abilities.

Sessions range from chair based exercises, which are suitable for people with mobility problems, to activities for the active 50+

Forever Active was awarded an Opportunities for Volunteering (OFV) grant by Attend to help them recruit and train volunteers. They hold a forum every three or four months to; help with fundraising and promotion, ensure that members receive a broad range of exercise and sports activities and have the opportunity to give feedback and suggestions on the services available.
